your_o vain_a conversation_n and_o your_o salvation_n from_o your_o vain_a tradition_n that_o every_o one_o in_o your_o place_n may_v honour_v god_n and_o be_v a_o good_a savour_n unto_o god_n for_o what_o good_a do_v your_o observation_n of_o day_n and_o your_o preach_n and_o pray_v and_o all_o your_o worship_n and_o service_n and_o all_o your_o talk_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n to_o be_v your_o saviour_n and_o the_o hope_n which_o you_o say_v you_o have_v by_o his_o merit_n what_o good_a will_v all_o this_o talk_n do_v you_o while_o you_o live_v in_o sin_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n and_o so_o be_v under_o the_o condemnation_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o in_o his_o salvation_n for_o he_o do_v not_o merit_v any_o thing_n for_o the_o sin_n but_o for_o the_o sinner_n and_o consider_v how_o this_o lie_n for_o you_o want_v understanding_n christ_n jesus_n do_v manifest_v his_o light_n in_o man_n and_o with_o his_o light_n he_o let_v man_n see_v his_o sin_n by_o which_o sin_n man_n be_v separate_v from_o god_n and_o he_o reprove_v the_o sinner_n and_o call_v he_o to_o repentance_n then_o the_o mind_n turn_v to_o the_o light_n when_o the_o light_n reprove_v and_o answer_v the_o light_n faithful_o then_o do_v the_o light_n begin_v to_o separate_v he_o from_o the_o sin_n and_o to_o draw_v he_o out_o of_o the_o sin_n so_o christ_n save_v the_o sinner_n from_o the_o sin_n which_o he_o have_v live_v in_o and_o through_o his_o judgement_n he_o purge_v the_o sinner_n and_o make_v he_o clean_o through_o the_o water_n of_o regeneration_n and_o then_o he_o reconcile_v unto_o god_n the_o father_n by_o himself_o and_o merit_v the_o love_n and_o the_o life_n and_o the_o peace_n for_o the_o sinner_n which_o in_o the_o sinful_a state_n be_v separate_v from_o god_n but_o now_o in_o the_o clean_a state_n be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o man_n be_v not_o reconcile_v as_o a_o sinner_n in_o the_o sin_n but_o a_o sinner_n wash_v and_o bathe_v and_o cleanse_v by_o the_o pure_a water_n which_o take_v away_o the_o filthiness_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n and_o so_o reconcile_v to_o god_n who_o be_v holy_a in_o the_o holiness_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o here_o man_n come_v to_o christ_n and_o to_o his_o salvation_n and_o salvation_n be_v the_o work_n of_o christ_n alone_o and_o by_o he_o be_v perfect_v through_o

not_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n for_o though_o it_o be_v so_o that_o people_n must_v come_v to_o repentance_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o that_o they_o must_v deny_v their_o evil_a way_n in_o obedience_n to_o christ_n who_o be_v pure_a yet_o there_o be_v no_o act_n which_o by_o they_o be_v do_v that_o bring_v salvation_n though_o in_o their_o way_n they_o do_v meet_v with_o peace_n from_o god_n through_o obedience_n but_o the_o salvation_n be_v in_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n through_o christ_n jesus_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o bring_v salvation_n do_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n mark_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v appear_v to_o all_o man_n and_o where_o do_v it_o appear_v why_o in_o their_o own_o conscience_n and_o what_o do_v it_o appear_v against_o why_o against_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n in_o every_o place_n and_o what_o do_v it_o appear_v to_o do_v why_o to_o destroy_v the_o devil_n the_o author_n of_o sin_n and_o what_o will_v it_o do_v further_o why_o it_o will_v teach_v to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n so_o mark_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o bring_v salvation_n do_v appear_v in_o man_n against_o ungodliness_n and_o teach_v man_n that_o do_v receive_v it_o to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o these_o thing_n must_v be_v deny_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o grace_n yet_o the_o salvation_n do_v not_o stand_v in_o the_o thing_n do_v but_o in_o the_o grace_n alone_o which_o require_v the_o duty_n &_o teach_v to_o deny_v that_o which_o it_o appear_v again_v and_o then_o it_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n and_o save_v from_o the_o sin_n which_o have_v make_v man_n unclean_a and_o what_o will_v the_o grace_n do_v further_o why_o it_o will_v teach_v to_o live_v sober_o and_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a evil_a world_n so_o mark_v again_o here_o be_v a_o change_n wrought_v in_o man_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o grace_n as_o it_o do_v appear_v be_v receive_v the_o ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n they_o be_v deny_v and_o soberness_n and_o righteousness_n and_o godliness_n they_o be_v bring_v forth_o and_o manifest_v by_o the_o grace_n and_o here_o be_v the_o freegrace_n in_o the_o free-love_n of_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v salvation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o all_o that_o in_o he_o believe_v but_o people_n do_v not_o know_v he_o and_o so_o let_v forth_o their_o own_o belief_n into_o a_o imagination_n of_o he_o and_o look_v to_o find_v he_o in_o their_o own_o way_n and_o they_o have_v form_v he_o in_o their_o own_o belief_n without_o they_o they_o neglect_v the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o light_n within_o they_o and_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n remain_v unremoved_a and_o such_o know_v not_o his_o salvation_n but_o with_o sin_n be_v defile_v and_o pollute_v and_o with_o that_o unclean_a body_n his_o life_n be_v press_v and_o there_o the_o just_a suffer_v for_o the_o unjust_a and_o the_o load_n of_o sin_n be_v heavy_a upon_o he_o which_o in_o his_o patience_n he_o bear_v though_o with_o his_o light_n he_o place_v judgement_n upon_o it_o every_o way_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v open_v what_o the_o grace_n be_v in_o itself_o and_o what_o it_o be_v unto_o man_n that_o receive_v it_o and_o believe_v in_o it_o that_o all_o may_v mind_v the_o grace_n that_o bring_v salvation_n and_o close_o with_o it_o in_o its_o appearance_n that_o they_o may_v come_v to_o salvation_n by_o it_o which_o in_o itself_o be_v free_a therefore_o all_o people_n ponder_v these_o thing_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o wait_v to_o know_v what_o time_n will_v bring_v forth_o in_o order_n to_o your_o salvation_n and_o do_v not_o neglect_v the_o time_n which_o you_o have_v present_a but_o day_n by_o day_n consider_v god_n

that_o his_o peace_n he_o may_v seal_v unto_o you_o in_o his_o own_o covenant_n and_o that_o in_o his_o life_n and_o wisdom_n you_o may_v walk_v as_o become_v christian_n in_o all_o sobriety_n and_o

a_o exhortation_n unto_o you_o joint_o that_o you_o may_v come_v to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n particular_o which_o light_n be_v but_o one_o in_o you_o all_o and_o if_o you_o mind_v it_o to_o

then_o as_o one_o body_n you_o will_v stand_v in_o righteousness_n to_o glorify_v god_n and_o this_o will_v bring_v peace_n in_o the_o latter_a end_n but_o if_o you_o refuse_v to_o hearken_v and_o to_o obey_v your_o destruction_n will_v be_v of_o yourselves_o and_o god_n will_v be_v clear_a when_o he_o judge_n therefore_o consider_v it_o serious_o and_o neglect_v not_o to_o close_v with_o the_o tender_v of_o god_n love_n for_o to_o day_n it_o be_v unto_o you_o but_o to_o morrow_n it_o may_v be_v hide_v from_o you_o therefore_o lay_v it_o to_o heart_n concern_v faith_n christ_n jesus_n be_v
